Old Chen, other than the fact that he wasn't very aggressive and destroyed Chen Hansheng's dream of being the son of the deputy mayor, he had almost no flaws.
He loved his wife, knew how to do housework, and was good at communicating with his children. Although he was usually quiet, he was always responsible for standing up when something happened at home.
In addition, Old Chen always dealt with the problem in a reasonable way. For example, because of Chen Hansheng, Lv Yuqing wanted to vent her anger on Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan, but Old Chen had already abandoned this son in advance.
As long as we weren't related to Chen Hansheng, you couldn't vent your anger on us.
This action seemed very "shameless", but it also had a sense of "helplessness". There was no other way. They just wanted to be Little Yu 'er's grandparents.
"I'll call Old Xiao and have him come over to talk."
Lv Yuqing stopped crying and contacted Xiao Hongwei. Then she pulled Little Yu 'er into the bedroom. In the end, only Old Chen and his wife were left in the living room.
Actually, there was a nanny, Auntie Lin, at home, but when she heard the commotion outside, she hid in the kitchen and didn't dare to show her face. When things calmed down a bit, she tiptoed out to pour two cups of hot tea.
In her heart, Auntie Lin liked Chen Hansheng's mother more because Liang Meijuan was more down-to-earth. Sometimes they could talk about trivial family gossip.
Lv Yuqing was prettier and more elegant, but she always had a faint sense of distance, let alone talk about trivial things.
Fortunately, Little Yu 'er's personality was more like her father's, the middle-aged handsome man who was almost 50 years old.
Auntie Lin thought about the members of the Chen and Xiao families while cooking in the kitchen. Lunch was ready, but no one sat at the table. No one had an appetite.
"Go get a bowl of soup and bring it to Little Yu 'er."
Old Chen said to his wife, "It doesn't matter if we don't eat one or two meals, but she can't be like this."
"Okay."
Empress Dowager Liang stood up from the sofa. She didn't rest well last night and unknowingly fell asleep.
"Wait."
Liang Meijuan was about to walk over when Old Chen suddenly called her from behind. It turned out that she slept too deeply and some of her hair was messy and stuck to her face.
"Wait until the matter is resolved."
Chen Hansheng reached out to help his wife tidy up her hair. This action was very natural, and his tone was very gentle. "I will retire early too. I will take you around to enjoy the sunset life."
"Alright, alright."
The nanny Auntie Lin could come out at any time, so Empress Dowager Liang was a bit embarrassed, "Let's wait until then, I have to raise the two babies first."
Middle-aged women at Liang Meijuan's age didn't seem to have much "personal freedom." First, they had to take care of their sons and daughters, then their grandchildren. When the third generation had all grown up, they were about to take a break when they suddenly realized that they couldn't walk anymore.
It sounded like a very sad thing, but to them, their hearts were filled with incomparable satisfaction because they had raised and witnessed the growth of two generations.
However, with the continuous development of society, this kind of self-confinement lifestyle would decrease a little. The elderly were more used to leaving a portion of their money for the younger generation, and the rest was to live a good retirement life.
… ….
Empress Dowager Liang's thinking still hadn't changed. In her heart, taking care of her granddaughter was her responsibility and obligation. She couldn't shirk it or take it away from her.
She filled a bowl with chicken soup and sent it to the bedroom. Not long after, low sobbing sounds came from inside. They must have touched on something sad again. "Mother and daughter", "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", these three people couldn't control their feelings again.
Around 2 pm, Old Xiao finally arrived. During the few hours of driving from Harbor City to Jianye, his emotions had also gone through a "top to bottom".
When he first heard about it, he must have been furious and scolded Chen Hansheng, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
Later, when he heard that Chen Zhaojun and his wife had written a statement with Chen Hansheng to sever their family relationship, Old Xiao fell into silence again.
When he met Chen Zhaojun, looking at his guilty expression, Director Xiao didn't deliberately act cold, but he also didn't shake his hand to greet him.
"I regret it very much now."
Old Xiao looked at Chen Zhaojun and said, "When my daughter didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Hansheng, I should have supported her wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I could have avoided one more injury."
"Old Xiao, I'm sorry. Little Yu 'er is sad. Meijuan and I are also sad …"
Parents in the world cared about their children. For the sake of his son, Chen Zhaojun sincerely explained and apologized to Old Xiao.
The afternoon light was very good. When Old Chen lowered his head, one or two strands of white hair could be seen occasionally. Xiao Hongwei felt very uncomfortable when he saw it.
Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan were definitely qualified "father-in-law and mother-in-law". They were also qualified "grandpa and grandma". It was actually unreasonable to blame all the mistakes on them.
"When we passed by the Changjiang Bridge, I already thought it through. Maybe this is fate, but not fate."
Old Xiao let out a long sigh. "Originally, I planned to ask that Miss Shen to abort the child, but then I thought about it. This is also a life. Little Fishy will definitely not agree. Our family has no right to ask others to do this."
Chen Zhaojun stopped talking. It was indeed easy to solve the problem by aborting the child, but this step would not work.
Not only Xiao Rongyu would not agree, but Shen Youchu herself would also not agree. He and Liang Meijuan would also not agree.
"As for Little Yu 'er, I will listen to my daughter," Old Xiao said.
"In the future, if she allows you to see your granddaughter, we won't stop you. If she doesn't allow you to see her, we won't help to persuade her either."
"But!"
Old Xiao's tone suddenly became serious. "Chen Hansheng shouldn't come over. He is independent now. It is said that he has a license in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. But as a father, I really want to drag him to practice target shooting."
While they were talking, Xiao Rongyu and the others also came out of the bedroom. At noon, she drank some chicken soup and took a short nap. She recovered a lot of energy.
"Daddy ~"
Little Yu 'er saw her father who loved her the most, and tears of grievance filled her eyes again.
"My dear daughter …"
Seeing Little Yu 'er like this, Old Xiao's heart also ached. Chen Zhaojun called out to Liang Meijuan, "Old Xiao is coming over, let's go first."
Other families of three would definitely have to talk, and Old Chen did not want to be a hindrance here.
However, Liang Meijuan was still reluctant to leave. When she walked to the door, she could not help but turn her head and said, "Little Yu 'er, Aunt Liang will still come over tomorrow."
Xiao Hongwei and Lv Yuqing did not say anything. Little Yu 'er thought of the "Declaration of Severing Relationship", and in the end, she still replied softly, "En."
Chen Zhaojun felt relieved. This is a good sign. As long as Chen Hansheng does not come over and cause a conflict, I and Liang Meijuan will be able to see Little Yu 'er in the future.
… …
After taking the elevator downstairs, Chen Zhaojun called Chen Hansheng to come over. Just when Chen Zhaojun got into the car, Liang Meijuan got angry at her son. She slapped and scolded Chen Hansheng, and Chen Hansheng lowered his head and did not resist.
"It's about time."
When Empress Dowager Liang's palm was about to be slapped in pain, Old Chen said, "I have a few words that I want to remind you."
"Dad, please say."
Chen Hansheng was also very obedient, which was rarely seen.
"Firstly, the problem of the house."
Chen Zhaojun thought and said, "In this situation, it is not suitable for your mother to live in the riverside condominium. What do you plan to do?"
"This is easy to solve."
Chen Hansheng immediately said, "I will just find a new house."
"There is no need to go through so much trouble."
Old Chen thought for a while and said, "Little Shen also needs to move to a new place, right? As for the house in Tianjing Mountain district, just let your mother live there."
Liang Meijuan understood what her husband meant. With her current status, she could not live together with any of her daughters-in-law. She had to be impartial. Therefore, she could only live alone outside.
"Secondly, the problem of transportation."
Old Chen continued, "In the future, when your mother lives in Tianjing Mountain district, no matter where she goes, she will have to take a car …"
"I will arrange a car specially to serve Empress Dowager."
This was also not a problem for Chen Hansheng. He even added, "When the time comes, find a nanny for my mother too."
"I can walk and move, why would I need a nanny?"
Liang Meijuan directly refused.
However, Old Chen also agreed with this idea. "You don't feel tired now, but when you really have to run back and forth, your body will not be able to take it. Having a nanny to do some chores will reduce your burden."
"That's right."
Chen Hansheng said generously, "Mom, don't save money for your son. My current assets are not enough to spend all of them in a few lifetimes."
"You are showing off again!"
Liang Meijuan said angrily, "I am just finding it troublesome. A family of three has to live in three separate places!"
Chen Hansheng was a little embarrassed. Empress Dowager Liang's "family of three" referred to her, Shen Youchu, and Xiao Rongyu. She did not even include this son of hers.
Chen Zhaojun rubbed his temples. Because of Chen Hansheng's success in business, almost all of the material conditions could be satisfied. This was probably "the silver lining in the misfortune".
If it were not for this economic foundation, Chen Hansheng would still be two-timing, and the situation would be more complicated than it was now.
But in other words, if Chen Hansheng was not so rich, would he still dare to two-time?
This was a complicated philosophical question. Old Chen did not think deeply about it, and changed the topic to the last and most important point.
"You can ask about it privately, or you can ask your mother to tell you."
Chen Zhaojun said to Chen Hansheng seriously, "But you are not allowed to go to Little Yu'er and Shen Youchu. During this time, you can treat yourself as if you are single and focus on the development of Nutshell Electronics."
"Okay!"
Chen Hansheng nodded seriously, but suddenly a paranoid junior sister and a "coquettish bitch" who liked to dress up with heavy makeup flashed in his mind.
"… It should be fine if I have a heart-to-heart talk with my female best friend."
Chen Hansheng said silently in his heart.
… ….
When they arrived at Tianjing Mountain, it was just past 3 pm.
This was to overcome the obstacle on Little Yu'er's side, and the couple had to deal with the problem on Shen Youchu's side. Their purpose was to be able to take care of and be close to the two unborn babies.
"Old Chen."
When they got out of the car, Liang Meijuan said hesitantly, "Let's not show Youchu the statement of severing ties. Little Yu'er has parents to rely on, and Shen Youchu is alone. She might take it seriously."
"Then let's not show it to her."
Old Chen's face was calm. After a while, he said, "Little Shen is not without parents. In the future, we will be her parents."
Empress Dowager Liang was stunned, and many emotions surged in her heart.
In the past, because of Little Yu'er, Old Chen did not accept Shen Youchu. Now, because of the babies, Old Chen began to slowly change.
"Our attitude is not the most important thing."
Liang Meijuan thought to herself. Only when Xiao Rongyu's and Shen Youchu's attitudes change, would there be a possibility for the whole thing to change.
However, this was really too difficult. With Little Yu'er's arrogant personality, how could she accept Shen Youchu?
… ….
After knocking on the door, the person who ran over to open the door was Shen Ningning. Liang Meijuan liked this little girl very much.
If her granddaughter looked like this, Liang Meijuan would not bear to put her down even if she carried her in her arms.
Grandma was still sitting on the sofa and basking in the sun as usual. She did not seem to know what had happened in the past two days, or rather, everyone thought that she did not know.
Shen Youchu and Hu Linyu were both in the bedroom. Xiao Hu should be counseling his good friend. Seeing Chen Hansheng's parents coming over, Hu Linyu greeted them and left the bedroom, leaving the space for this "family."
It seemed that Hu Linyu was not 100% pure and reckless. She knew that Liang Meijuan doted on Shen Youchu very much, so her attitude towards Old Chen and his wife had always been very polite.
In Secretary Hu's heart, not only did Chen Hansheng not match up to Shen Youchu, he also did not match up to such kind parents. In fact, he did not even deserve to live in this world.
"Youchu."
Liang Meijuan sat beside Shen Youchu and hugged the little silly girl's shoulder.
Chen Zhaojun did not sit on the bed. He deliberately moved a chair and placed it at the side. This way, there would be some distance between them and Shen Youchu, and at the same time, it would not give Shen Youchu any pressure.
"Oh ~"
Shen Youchu raised her head. There were a few drops of tears on her long eyelashes. She called out innocently, "Aunt Liang."
"Why are you crying again? This is not good for the baby."
After Liang Meijuan finished speaking, she suddenly went into a daze. This was because she had also said this sentence to Little Yu'er.
"What a strange feeling. Do I have to repeat the same sentence twice in the future?"
Liang Meijuan shook her head and threw away these thoughts. She helped Shen Youchu wipe her tears.
Shen Youchu's skin was very good. It was white, smooth, and firm. Empress Dowager Liang loved it as if it was jelly. The key point was that Shen Youchu did not know how to resist at all. She just foolishly allowed her "mother-in-law" to ravage her.
"Cough!"
Old Chen could not stand it anymore. He coughed and said, "Little Shen, have you eaten lunch?"
"No, I haven't."
Shen Youchu said honestly.
Dong'er had prepared every meal, but Shen Youchu did not want to eat.
"Oh."
Chen Zhaojun nodded. "Your Aunt Liang and I have been busy since this morning. We haven't eaten anything yet. Accompany us to eat a little."
"If you don't eat, I won't eat either. I'll just starve to death."
Liang Meijuan increased the weight of her food. She was forcing Shen Youchu to eat something too.
"… Okay."
Shen Youchu's peach blossom eyes were red, but she still pouted and agreed.
Liang Meijuan and Chen Zhaojun looked at each other. This little girl from Chuanyu was much easier to coax than Little Yu 'er.
After Shen Youchu agreed, she prepared to go to the kitchen to heat up the food. However, she did not need to do that. Dong'er heard that Sister Youchu was going to eat, so she jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the kitchen.
When it was time to eat, Liang Meijuan said again, "Youchu, this place is too small. Let's move in a few days. That way, it will be closer to where Ah Ning goes to primary school."
"It's not a problem."
Shen Youchu was about to weakly object, but Empress Dowager Liang interrupted her "unhappily" again. "How is it not a problem? When I come to take care of you, do you want me to sleep in the living room at night? That's good too. You can just freeze to death!"
Old Chen had a headache. Don't always say "starve to death" or "freeze to death". This was a "big move". Saying it often was like saying "the wolf is coming". It did not have the same effect.
However, Old Chen still "overestimated" Shen Youchu. When she heard these scary words, she nodded her round chin and agreed.
Empress Dowager Liang was very happy, but Old Chen was a little worried. "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" were stupid together.
After the meal, Liang Meijuan looked at the remaining soup and her eyes began to drift.
Chen Zhaojun knew that his wife was worried because she remembered that their son also did not have lunch.
"Ding ~"
Old Chen sent a text message to Empress Dowager Liang. "That's your son. Don't you know him? When he's hungry, he will naturally find something to eat."
Liang Meijuan suddenly realized, so she did not think about it for the whole afternoon.
In fact, Chen Hansheng really did not have lunch. He smoked too much and lost his appetite. At around five o 'clock in the evening, his parents finally came downstairs.
"How is it?"
Chen Hansheng asked abruptly.
"It's okay."
Old Chen said, "Youchu's personality is more traditional. When your mother takes out the aura of an elder, she generally will not resist. The premise is that you don't mention it. She still wants to avoid you now."
This was both good and bad news. The "good" news was that Shen Youchu's side was also solved.
Sure enough, you can always trust Old Chen.
The "bad" news was that whether it was Shen Youchu or Little Yu 'er, they seemed to have nothing to do with him.
… ….
At night, when he returned to the company's dormitory, Chen Hansheng began to arrange the house, driver, and nanny matters.
This was probably the power of money. It sounded quite complicated, but Chen Hansheng still managed to settle it with a few phone calls.
He did not even need to personally get the key. His real estate developer friend directly asked the company's employees to send the key over.
His housekeeping friend also specially found a nanny with Northern Jiangsu household registration, just to be able to communicate with Liang Meijuan more easily.
But what was the use? These were all insignificant small problems.
The next morning, Chen Hansheng woke up and looked at the time on his phone. Suddenly, he faintly sighed.
April 26th, 2006. Today, I have 0 new girlfriends, 0 confirmed girlfriends, N suspected girlfriends, and 9527 rumors of me being a scumbag.
Damn it, I am nothing!
